    I'm looking at starting a new business of collecting aluminium and steel cans. Starting small for the moment, I currently have access to about 2 tons per month. Would anyone know where I could sell them? I'm in the Munster area, and would have them baled and delivered to a recycling plant. Also any info on how much a ton might sell for would be helpful.
    Thanks folks...

    A ton of aluminium on the commodities markets sells for about €1700, I'd imagine the price you would get would be about half that as the metal would need to be recycled in to a raw material state.

    Heres a good place to keep an eye UK scrap prices.

    Hegartys in Limerick are worth a look, must be somewhere in cork as well.
